Hi James, no, you don't need a static IP to run an ftp, a dynamic IP is fine. Since your IP is your ftp address you would just provide people with the updated IP.

You can use an FTP Server program which will allow access to specific locations on your machine without a separate hosting company. Effectively, you are hosting your own which would also allow you to host your own website. You need to have a static IP address for this however.

I find hostpapa is a fairly accessible provider as far as access to the control panel goes ... but I'd be interested to hear how accessible other providers serverspace is. I use Cute FTP. I prefer version 5 which I get from oldversions.com - it's more jaws friendly. Later versions feel they have to get more complicated. I've yet to suss how cute FTP 8 is any better and it's certainly less usable or intuitive. ----- Original Message ----- From: Amro Bilal To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 11:59 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Wanting to set up an FTP Server James, try ftp explorer.
